Can't connect to WiFi-nets with password

I am not quite sure that this is the right place to post this question, but feel free to move it to where it belongs, any moderator:)
I have encountered a problem I didn't have earlier with my iBook trying to connect to WiFi-nets - it seems impossible to connect with passwords - only the net I have at home with Airport Express works, password included.
As soon as I find a net which doesn't require passwords, it all works.
I experienced this for the first time in February when I visited the newspaper I am working for, which is all Macintosh. They gave me the password to be able to log in to their wireless net, but I just received a message which reads something like An error occurred when attempting to log on to xxx net. Retry? OK. (Translated from Norwegian)
On the same trip, I could log on to public nets where you come to an opening page where you fill in username and pass, but when I visited my mother's where my brother has put up a wireless router, neither my mother's new iMac nor my iBook could connect and we received the same message and had to use Ethernet cables.
It seems to have gotten worse, since I the other day tried to connect to a public network here where I live and with which I have had no problems earlier, but now I receive that same error message.
I suspect that it may be caused by some minor bug in the latest update to Tiger, since another problem with Bluetooth, which went unresolved here, disappeared with that update. But instead, I have gotten this. Hopefully, my assumption is wrong and there is a solution out there:)
iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iSight
iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight
iMac G5 20", iBook 1,33 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   iSight

Nothing but perfect.
As for the log in page not appearing, I read in another topic here that sometimes it might help to try Firefox or IE instead of Safari as they might have coded it that way or something to that effect, but the problem is that Airport doesn't even connect to the net as it did earlier. The only thing which happens is that message.
In another forum, someone discovered that if the card is not firmly placed into the contacts, problems may occur, but since I have had no problems earlier and haven't touched the card and it was not installed by me, I very much doubt that it is the case here - and it works with open nets without passwords...

  • I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect because it locked with password. I can't input the password becasue it showing no service and needs to be restored.

    I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?

    You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
    To put your iPod/iPhone  into recovery mode:
    1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
    3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
    4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
    5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
    After that you should be up and running in no time!
    I hope that this is helpful.

  • Can't connect to WiFi network with a WEP3 password

    i have trouble connecting my ipod touch 3G to my Wifi hat home. we are using a WEP3 key, but i can't find a way to tell my ipod to use that.
    i guess it is autimaticall yon WEP1 - is there any way to change it?

    safari=windows_4G-nano-2gen. wrote:
    Suggest to apple to support WEP3 for iOS devices. In my house I control wireless setting, because my parents don't know how, but really check with your dad and tell him how much this messes up your iPod experience.
    Suggestions to Apple should go here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
    However, I doubt that Apple (or any other manufacturer) will do much on WEP; it is easily cracked by hackers (in minutes) and has been deprecated by the standards group since 2004. Move to WPA2.

  • IPods can't connect to WiFi at home - password correct

    Hi, for some reason - no idea why -  the WiFi went out at my place, couldn't connect laptops or iPods. I called out the service engineer. He gave me a new modem, and during the process, we changed the network name and password. My laptops now both connect to the new network no problem, however my iPods don't.
    The iPods detect the new network name and the password entered is definitely correct - it works on my laptops, mobile phone etc - but I just get a "failed ot connect to network" message. If I type in a deliberately incorrect password on my iPod, I get a "wrong password" message, so it's defo not a password issue.
    Have tried powering of the modem & router for an extended period of time - no change to the situation.
    I have also tried hard resets on both iPods, resetting network preferences on the iPods - both times no dice.
    It's one iPod 4th Gen, one iPod 3rd gen both using the latest version of iOS.
    iPods both connect to networks at cafés, work etc with no problems whatsoever. Any idea how I can fix this? Cheers in advance.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Girlfriend's computer can't connect to Express network with password-help!

    Hi, first post here so please be gentle with me!
    I have an Airport Express router which is working fine with my MBP running Leopard. Last week, my girlfriend got a new white MacBook but this new computer is unable to join my network when it is password-protected - I just keep on getting a message saying 'connection timeout' when I try and join the network. It works fine when I remove the password protection for the network, but this is hardly ideal because my network is then completely unsecured and anyone can join (I live in a block of flats). Also, whilst password protection is in place the problematic computer cannot find the Airport Express using Airport Utility, so I would be unable to make any changes if my computer was unavailable. I would be grateful for any guidance or help to resolve these issues as I want my network secure again!
    Finally, I've noticed throughout my experimentation with security settings that my internet speeds are noticably improved when my wireless network is unsecure - has anyone else noticed this, and is the problem fixable?
    Many thanks in advance for any advice.

    I've downloaded Air Radar and our wireless network is on a separate channel to everyone else's and is apparently mostly running OK (although at one point last night it totally went dead and I just turned everything off in frustration). I've tried to simply put everything back to how it was before the problem started by making the network open and unprotected, which (after unplugging the modem and the Airport Express overnight and starting again this morning) seems to have helped on my computer, even though the internet is running slower than it was last week when everything was fine for both computers.
    However, my girlfriends computer still won't connect to the internet. Last night it appeared to be because Airport on her computer had a self-assigned IP address which prevented the computer connecting to the internet - today I have turned off the Firewall and flushed the ipfw cache and although initially I could join the network (although not access the internet) it has just dropped the connection. Network diagnostics won't help because when it scans it doesn't appear to find any networks - just keeps scanning indefinitely.
    I'm getting to the point now where I'm thinking of just formatting the hard disk and reinstalling the OS and starting again, unless anyone can offer any better suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with iPhone 5

    Can't connect to wifi in hotels in Ireland with my iPhone 5. My iPad 3 works fine. When I enter the wifi password for the network I always get the error message "Incorrect password for XYZ". No problem with iPad 3.

    Returned home only to find the same situation with my home network. Much time on chat support with Apple. Short story long: Must have been corrupted software. Had to restore original original software then add back apps and music. Couldn't back up before doing the restore so I lost a bunch of pics, but at least the phone is working once again.

    What type of encryption are you using with your wireless network -WEP or WPA?
    If your wireless router supports both which it should unless it is quite old and you are using WEP, try switching to WPA which is much more secure than WEP which is important if you have a Windows PC or any Windows based device connected to your network.
    In addition, when was the last time you checked Netgear's website to see if there is a firmware update available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?

    I can't connect to wifi with iPhone5. Does anyone knows why? and what to do?
    Thank you.

    The Holy Mecha of Wifi
    Turn router off then on Try turning your wireless router off then back on.
    Change or turn off wireless security You may want to try toggling the settings on your wireless router, switching from WPA to WEP or vice versa, or, as a last resort, turning wireless security off altogether. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Reset network settings on iPad. On your iPad, open Settings, then navigate to “General” in the left-hand pane. Scroll down and tap Reset, then select “Reset Network Settings.” This will delete any stored WiFi passwords and other information, but may result in a more stable connection.
    Adjust brightness upward. Oddly, a number of users have found that they can resolve this issue by simply adjusting the iPad’s brightness level upward and off the lowest setting. To do this, tap Settings, then select “Brightness & Wallpaper” from the left-hand pane. Slide the brightness bar upward, then wait 1-2 minutes and check for an improvement in signal strength. Speculation holds that a power delivery issue associated with the screen brightness affects Wi-Fi.
    Change thresholds in router settings. Access your routers configuration screen (for most routers, open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1), then change the fragmentation threshold and the CTS/RTS threshold as described here. Some users have found success with the settings Fragmentation= 2048, RTS = 512.
    Change 802.11 spec on router. Try changing your router’s wireless spec mode from B, G and N to G only or vice versa. For AirPort routers, this can be accomplished with the AirPort Admin Utility. For other routers, this can usually be accomplished by accessing the router’s configuration page — open a browser and enter the address 192.168.1.1.
    Switch routers. Although a far-from-ideal solution, some users have found success with switching to a different wireless router.
    Turn off “Ask to Join Networks.” To do so, tap Settings on your iPad, then select “Wi-Fi” from the left-hand pane. Slide “Ask to Join Networks” to off. Speculation holds that leaving this option on causes the iPad to constantly seek networks, resulting in some type of interference with the network to which it is connected.
    Forget network then rejoin. Tap Settings on your iPad, then select Wi-Fi from the left-hand pane. Choose the network with which you are experiencing difficulty, then select “Forget this network.” Go back to the previous screen and rejoin the network.
    Turn off Bluetooth. Some users report that, perhaps due to interference issues, turning off Bluetooth can boost Wi-Fi signal strength. To do so, tap Settings then tap General in the left-hand pane. Tap Bluetooth in the right-hand pane, then slide to off.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
